Been riding 36 years. Never laid bike down on purpose. Accidentally, yes. Blowout on front. Bike went down on right side. I somehow pulled it up and then when tire left rim, went down again on left side. Impossible to maintain balance. Bystanders were telling me what I should have done. I challenged anyone there to push bike and keep it up with tire not seated on rim. Some tried. Nobody could do it. They shut up and left. I rode many years with a cop who did stunt riding. He was trained by police dept. to lay down bike to stop faster and safer. We are talking Harley. Other bikes or today's thinking I have no idea. I never liked the idea of laying it down and still ride small 200 cc. One other thought I once rode Moto Guzzi 850 Eldorado(very heavy) It would slide through many stops. Tires good, brakes good. It was a candidate for laying down, I suppose. Or thats what was the opinion of bikers back then. (1973) Dave
